The Queen's Christmas message appears to be more popular this year - 46% said they would not tune in for the occasion, down from 64% last year.

But only 5% named the annual address as the Christmas TV they could not miss.

RadioTimes.com editor Tim Glanfield said: "Christmas is a time for family, but it's also a time for great TV and movies and it seems nothing comes between some families and their festive viewing - not even Christmas dinner."
